Guest guest Posted March 11, 2008 Report Share Posted March 11, 2008 HI Chris The manufacturers have got it wrong on their website about Armour Thyroid containing 100 mcgs Thyroxine and it seems they have now put this right according to June, though I haven't checked personally. The figures I have quoted in the Armour paper are for each tablet and for one months supply as quoted by the NHS Prescription Pricing Division . I need to use information that is there in black and white from an authorative source that can be verified. If I changed that, it would lose credibility - and so would I, I think. Thanks though Chris. Luv - Sheila Re: Armour Dosing Sheila this is very important as it effects your costings.Based on what the manufacturers say 1 grain = 60mg armour thyroid is equivalent to 100 mcg levothyroxine. 1 grain = £17.88 for 100Cost for replacing 200 mcg levothyroxine with 2 x 1 grain of armour would be 17.88 for 50 days with is about £10.00 per month, even lower than what you have quoted.LuvChris>> But this is not taking into account the contribution of T2, which although not measured as so many mg, must be present in the equation of the comparison with thyroxine.> > Val> > The Forest Website is incorrect. I wrote to them long ago pointing this out, as people were believing 1 grain of Armour was equivalent to 100 mcgs thyroxine. > > Luv - Sheila> No virus found in this incoming message.Checked by AVG.
